Abstract

Abstract A composition consisting essentially of a siloxane having substituents that provide attachment to the hair, surfactants, additives that provide freeze-thaw stability, and water is disclosed. The composition may also contain thickeners, and additives that reduce static electricity build-up, and fly-away. A method of conditioning hair which comprises applying to the hair the composition as defined above is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 228 words
A hair conditioning composition which is a stable dispersion of silicone and is formed by dispersing with shear a siloxane polymer into an aqueous phase, the composition consisting essentially of 0.1 to 61 percent by weight of (A) a siloxane having the general formula R a X 3-a Si(OSiX 2 ) n (OSiX b R 2-b ) m OSiX 3-a R a wherein R is a monovalent radical having the general formula --C y H 2y Z wherein y has a value of 2 to 8 and Z is selected from the group consisting of --NR'CH 2 CH 2 NR' 2 , --COOH, --SCH 2 COOH, ##STR4## --NR' 2 ,--N + R' 3 A - , --N + R'H 2 A 31 , and --NR'CH 2 CH 2 N + R'H 2 A-, wherein R; is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, benzyl, and monovalent saturated hydrocarbon radicals composed of 1 to 20 carbon atoms and A - is a halogen; X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, hydroxyl, and saturated hydrocarbon radicals composed of 1 to 8 carbon atoms; a has a value of 0 to 3; b has a value of 0 to 1; and n+m has a value of 1 to 2000 with n having a value of 0 to 1999 and m having a value of 1 to 2000;
